About me...

As a guitarist and musician, I've been fortunate to turn my passion into a career. Inspired by The Beatles at age 8, I honed my craft with top-notch teachers, including those at Hofstra University's renowned music program. Over the years, I’ve studied the styles of legendary guitarists, built a diverse career as a performer, songwriter, session musician, and educator, and learned to play hundreds—if not thousands—of songs.

​

I actively perform, tour, and release music with my own bands, including Don’t Believe In Ghosts who has signed with Imagen Records/Warner ADA, amassed over 6 million streams, had music featured on Apple TV's WeCrashed soundtrack, and sold out iconic NYC venues like Bowery Ballroom. I was also a member of Face the King, a CI Records-signed band that became a national Ernie Ball competition finalist and performed at some of the country’s largest festivals including Milwaukee Summerfest,Vans Warped Tour, ROCKSTAR Uproar Festival, and the CBGB Festival Times Square. My latest project, The Neon Skyline, recently debuted its first EP with two sold-out release shows in NY.

​

As a session guitarist, I’ve worked with a variety of singer-songwriters and bands, including MKTO, best known for their massive hit “Classic.” I served as their touring guitarist and traveled with them for their Fall 2025 tour in Australia. I also regularly perform with American Idol finalists Robbie Rosen, Jesse Findling, Constantine Maroulis (Rock Of Ages), and Kevin Covais, as well as other artists featured on The Voice and The X Factor. My experience also includes sharing the stage with elite musicians such as Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Mike DelGuidice (Billy Joel), and Mark Mendoza (Twisted Sister).

For the past 10+ years, beyond performing I've been passionate about sharing my knowledge with students of all ages, teaching guitar lessons to individuals ranging from 4 to 70+ years old. I've had the joy of watching my students grow and develop their own musical talents.
